So is any person who regularly buys a ticket at the door and attends HS games.
They can sit courtside all season at most gyms without difficulty.

Should the schools being asking fans to sign up for an approved spectator list? Perhaps there can be a sort of TSA approved frequent fan admittance line!

Yep, the local sports fans are more involved with players and students than an official who might see the same players two or three times a year.

I just went to a Coach's Hall of Fame Dinner where coaches, players, officials and fans of the game were inducted into the HOF. I can tell you that many of those people that were not officials had a bigger impact or knowledge of the kids that play than any of the officials in our current role.

Peace

It's definitely a way for the coordinators to make money, but it's a double-edged sword as far as charging vs not charging for a try-out camp.

If it's paid anyone can go if they pony up the dough — if it is free, then there has to be some sort of selection process. Otherwise you'd have tons of people showing up for free that otherwise wouldn't (and shouldn't) be there. Plus, it adds a layer of politics to it —*moreso than there already is.

So, I agree with you, since I think the process is too expensive for those wanting to move up, but I'm not sure that making the camps free solves the problem rather than simply trading one set of problems out for another.

I think you have an employee vs contractor issue here. As independent contractors the burden to pay for a background check probably legally falls on us — versus as an employee it would fall on the school / district.

Actually, I work as a teacher. I had to pay for my own background checks.
